Growing up in a small village in Ghana, Osei Boateng watched many of his family members and neighbors struggle to access basic health care. In many regions of the country, it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital. “My grandmother was a very big part of my life,” said Boateng. “It was very hard when we lost her, and it was due to something that could have been easily prevented. That is the painful part of it.”
Feeling an urgent call to help, Boateng decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana. He started his nonprofit, OKB Hope Foundation, and in 2021, he converted a van into a mobile doctor’s office called the Hope Health Van and started bringing health care directly to those in need. A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities in Ghana and provide routine medical care for free. On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician’s assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis as well as prescribe and provide medications.
Since its launch, Boateng says the Hope Health Van has served more than 4,000Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care.
Boateng has big plans for the future. He hopes to expand to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but in other countries as well. He has gone all in on his OKB Hope Foundation, recently quitting his job to dedicate his time to bringing health care to his home country. But for him, the sacrifices are well worth the reward.
4. Why is Boateng’s grandmother mentioned?
A. To show his deep love. B. To highlight the poor health care.
C. To call for equality. D. To blame the government.
5. What cannot patients get in the van?
A. Routine medical checks. B. Prescribed medicine.
C. Minor operations. D. Mental therapy.
6. What can best describe Boateng?
A. Conservative and cautious. B. Selfless and risky.
C. Caring and tolerant. D. Devoted and ambitious.
7. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Hopeless health care in Ghana B. Nonprofit organizations booming in Ghana
C. Doctor’s office on wheels D. Empowering medical schools
C
The days of having a dictionary on your bookshelf are numbered. But that’s OK, because everyone already walks around with a dictionary — not the one on your phone, but the one in your head.
Just like a physical dictionary, your mental dictionary contains information about words. This includes the letters, sounds and meaning, or semantics, of words, as well as information about parts of speech and how you can fit words together to form grammatical sentences. While a physical dictionary is helpful for shared knowledge, your personal mental dictionary is customized based on your individual experiences.
What words are in your mental dictionary might overlap with the mental dictionary of someone else who also speaks the same language, but there will also be a lot of differences between the content of your dictionaries. You add words to your mental dictionary through your educational, occupational, cultural and other life experiences. This customization also means that the size of mental dictionaries is a little bit different from person to person and varies by age. Researchers found that the average 20-year-old American English speaker knows about 42,000 unique words, and this number grows to about 48,000 by age 60. Some people will have even larger vocabularies.
However, your mental dictionary can’t be like a physical dictionary since it is dynamic and quickly accessed. Your brain’s ability to retrieve a word is very fast. In one study, researchers mapped the time course of word retrieval among 24 college students by recording their brain activities while they named pictures. They found evidence that participants selected words within 200 milliseconds of seeing the image. After word selection, their brains continued to process information about that word, like what sounds are needed to say that chosen word and ignoring related words. This is why you can retrieve words with such speed in real-time conversations, often so quickly that you give little conscious attention to that process.
The next time you have a conversation with someone, take a moment to reflect on why you chose the specific words you did. Remember that the words you use and the mental dictionary you have are part of what make you and your voice unique.
8. In paragraph 2, the author explains “mental dictionary” by ________.
A. making comparisons B. analyzing influences
C. drawing conclusions D. offering assumptions
9. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. People’s vocabulary will peak at the age of 60.
B. The content of one’s mental dictionary is inherited.
C. Careers have an impact on the size of a mental dictionary.
D. Native English speakers share the same mental dictionaries.
10. What does the underlined word “retrieve” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Revise. B. Reacquire. C. Retell. D. Represent.
11. According to the passage, which of the following may the author agree with most?
A. People are aware of the word choosing process. B. Think twice before what to say in a conversation.
C. Print dictionaries will be replaced by mental ones. D. Our choices of vocabulary probably tell who we are.
D
Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert.
For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beyond birthday parties. A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not only mathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says.
The simplest approach is called the “divider-chooser” method, where one person cuts the cake into two equal pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the other’s. But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation.
The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms (算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals.
Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle (拼图) with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore.
12. What does the underlined word “distill” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Get the essence of. B. Find the opposite of.
C. Keep the focus on. D. Reduce the impact on.
13. What can we learn about fairness from the example given in paragraph 3?
A. Its standard is stable. B. It prevents unequal division.
C. Its concept is complex. D. It dominates personal preferences.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake cutting?
A. The application of its rules. B. The details of its process.
C. The problems it produces. D. The harmony it symbolizes.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Who Benefits Most from Fairness?
B. How Has Fairness Changed over Time?
C. What Method Works Best in Cake-cutting?
D. Why are Researchers so Interested in Cake-cutting?

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is going alone in an unknown area the right way to go, or do you want a tour guide to show you the highlights? I think that you can combine the two ways in one trip and have the best of both worlds. ____16____ The best purchase we made was for a bus tour that would take us around the capital and point out all the main sites. That allowed us the next day to travel on foot to the ones we especially wanted to see.
Let’s look at the San Francisco Bay Area which is another one of my favorite vacation spots. Some areas are so familiar to tourists that it’s possible to view the attractions on your own. ____17____ Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39 are good examples. Just by walking a few blocks, you can tour Aquarium of the Bay and the Riptide Arcade on Pier 39.
____18____ If you go to Alcatraz Island, you have a choice of going alone, having a live tour guide or being guided by earphones. I would recommend the live tour guides. I went all three ways, and I received more enjoyment by someone telling me items of interest I know I had missed on previous tours. ____19____ It gives you a behind-the-scenes look of colorful Chinatown. The tour covers history, traditions of the local people and culture that you probably wouldn’t know or see by travelling alone.
You can go alone to attractions or take a guided tour. It’s your choice and you can choose whichever would give you the most memorable experience. ____20____
A. I recommend both.
B. It’s possible to drive to the area and go alone.
C. One trip we recently took was to Washington DC.
D. Some attractions are worth having a tour guide for.
E. Chinatown Walking Tours are a tour-guided must-see.

We have all heard of the expression: “Remember to stop and smell the roses.” But how often do we really take time out of our fast-paced lives to notice the world around us? Too often we get caught up in our busy schedules, thoughts of next appointment, the traffic or life in general, to even realize there are other people nearby. I am as guilty as anyone of ignoring the world in this manner, especially when driving on California’s overcrowded streets. Every driver on the road seemed to have urgent business to attend to, and when the procession paused, the drivers behind the wheel began to sound horns impatiently. A short time ago, however, I witnessed an event that showed me how being wrapped up in my own little world had kept me from being fully aware of the bigger world picture around me.
I was driving to a business appointment and, as usual, I was planning in my mind what I was going to say. I came to a very busy crossroads where the stoplight had just turned red. While waiting for the traffic lights, I rolled down the window, getting some air in to refresh my mind since I had stayed up late last night for the important appointment today. “Just missed it. Bad luck!” I complained bitterly to myself, reflecting on the time I had wasted on the roadside billboard. “Hold your horses.” The driver on my left tried to calm my anxiety, but it had no effect on me. “All right,” I thought to myself, “I can beat the next light if I race ahead of other drivers.” I waited with such ambition. “Five seconds left, get ready!” My mind and car were in autopilot, ready to go when suddenly my trance (出神) was broken by an unforgettable sight.
A young couple, both blind, were walking arm-in-arm across this busy crossroads with cars whizzing (嗖嗖掠过) by in every direction.

Growing up in a small village in Ghana, Osei Boateng watched many of his family members and neighbors struggle to access basic health care. In many regions of the country, it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital. “My grandmother was a very big part of my life,” said Boateng. “It was very hard when we lost her, and it was due to something that could have been easily prevented. That is the painful part of it.”
Feeling an urgent call to help, Boateng decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana. He started his nonprofit, OKB Hope Foundation, and in 2021, he converted a van into a mobile doctor’s office called the Hope Health Van and started bringing health care directly to those in need. A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities in Ghana and provide routine medical care for free. On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician’s assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis as well as prescribe and provide medications.
Since its launch, Boateng says the Hope Health Van has served more than 4,000Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care.
Boateng has big plans for the future. He hopes to expand to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but in other countries as well. He has gone all in on his OKB Hope Foundation, recently quitting his job to dedicate his time to bringing health care to his home country. But for him, the sacrifices are well worth the reward.
4. Why is Boateng’s grandmother mentioned?
A. To show his deep love. B. To highlight the poor health care.
C. To call for equality. D. To blame the government.
5. What cannot patients get in the van?
A. Routine medical checks. B. Prescribed medicine.
C. Minor operations. D. Mental therapy.
6. What can best describe Boateng?
A. Conservative and cautious. B. Selfless and risky.
C. Caring and tolerant. D. Devoted and ambitious.
7. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Hopeless health care in Ghana B. Nonprofit organizations booming in Ghana
C. Doctor’s office on wheels D. Empowering medical schools
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Boateng开办OKB希望基金会,通过移动诊所的形式拯救生命的原因,以及该基金会的影响。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中“Growing up in a small village in Ghana, Osei Boateng watched many of his family members and neighbors struggle to access basic health care. In many regions of the country, it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital. (Osei Boateng在加纳的一个小村庄长大,他目睹了他的许多家庭成员和邻居为获得基本医疗保健而苦苦挣扎。在该国的许多地区,去最近的医院可能需要几个小时)”和““It was very hard when we lost her, and it was due to something that could have been easily prevented. That is the painful part of it.”(我们失去她的时候非常难过,这是因为一些事情本可以轻易预防。这是痛苦的部分)”可知,提及Boateng的奶奶是想强调Ghana基础医疗条件不好,很多本可以容易治愈的疾病夺走人们的性命。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中“A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities in Ghana and provide routine medical care for free. On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician’s assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis as well as prescribe and provide medications.

The days of having a dictionary on your bookshelf are numbered. But that’s OK, because everyone already walks around with a dictionary — not the one on your phone, but the one in your head.
Just like a physical dictionary, your mental dictionary contains information about words. This includes the letters, sounds and meaning, or semantics, of words, as well as information about parts of speech and how you can fit words together to form grammatical sentences. While a physical dictionary is helpful for shared knowledge, your personal mental dictionary is customized based on your individual experiences.
What words are in your mental dictionary might overlap with the mental dictionary of someone else who also speaks the same language, but there will also be a lot of differences between the content of your dictionaries. You add words to your mental dictionary through your educational, occupational, cultural and other life experiences. This customization also means that the size of mental dictionaries is a little bit different from person to person and varies by age. Researchers found that the average 20-year-old American English speaker knows about 42,000 unique words, and this number grows to about 48,000 by age 60. Some people will have even larger vocabularies.
However, your mental dictionary can’t be like a physical dictionary since it is dynamic and quickly accessed. Your brain’s ability to retrieve a word is very fast. In one study, researchers mapped the time course of word retrieval among 24 college students by recording their brain activities while they named pictures. They found evidence that participants selected words within 200 milliseconds of seeing the image. After word selection, their brains continued to process information about that word, like what sounds are needed to say that chosen word and ignoring related words. This is why you can retrieve words with such speed in real-time conversations, often so quickly that you give little conscious attention to that process.
The next time you have a conversation with someone, take a moment to reflect on why you chose the specific words you did. Remember that the words you use and the mental dictionary you have are part of what make you and your voice unique.
8. In paragraph 2, the author explains “mental dictionary” by ________.
A. making comparisons B. analyzing influences
C. drawing conclusions D. offering assumptions
9. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. People’s vocabulary will peak at the age of 60.
B. The content of one’s mental dictionary is inherited.
C. Careers have an impact on the size of a mental dictionary.
D. Native English speakers share the same mental dictionaries.
10. What does the underlined word “retrieve” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Revise. B. Reacquire. C. Retell. D. Represent.
11. According to the passage, which of the following may the author agree with most?
A. People are aware of the word choosing process. B. Think twice before what to say in a conversation.
C. Print dictionaries will be replaced by mental ones. D. Our choices of vocabulary probably tell who we are.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了心理词典与实体词典区别以及心理词典的特点。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段段首句“Just like a physical dictionary, your mental dictionary contains information about words.”(就像实体词典一样,你的心理词典也包含有关单词的信息。)以及段尾句“While a physical dictionary is helpful for shared knowledge, your personal mental dictionary is customized based on your individual experiences.”(虽然实体词典有助于分享知识,但你的个人心理词典是根据你的个人经验定制的。)可知,作者通过比较心理词典和实体字典来解释mental dictionary的具体含义,故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“You add words to your mental dictionary through your educational, occupational, cultural and other life experiences.”(你通过自己的教育、职业、文化和其他生活经历将单词添加到你的心理词典中)可知,职业对于心理词典的容量大小有影响。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“However, your mental dictionary can’t be like a physical dictionary since it is dynamic and quickly accessed.”(然而,你的心理词典不能像实体词典一样,因为它是动态的和快速访问的)和“They found evidence that participants selected words within 200 milliseconds of seeing the image.”(他们发现有证据表明,参与者在看到图像后200毫秒内选择了单词)可知,你的大脑恢复单词的能力非常快。所以划线词的意思是“重新获得”。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段段尾句“Remember that the words you use and the mental dictionary you have are part of what make you and your voice unique.”(记住,你所使用的词汇和你所拥有的心理词典是使你和你的声音独一无二的部分)可知,“人们的说话用词是展现个体独特性的一个方面”,说明我们对词汇的选择可能会告诉我们自己是谁。故选D项。

Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert.
For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beyond birthday parties. A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not only mathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says.
The simplest approach is called the “divider-chooser” method, where one person cuts the cake into two equal pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the other’s. But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation.
The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms (算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals.
Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle (拼图) with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore.
12. What does the underlined word “distill” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Get the essence of. B. Find the opposite of.
C. Keep the focus on. D. Reduce the impact on.
13. What can we learn about fairness from the example given in paragraph 3?
A. Its standard is stable. B. It prevents unequal division.
C. Its concept is complex. D. It dominates personal preferences.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake cutting?
A. The application of its rules. B. The details of its process.
C. The problems it produces. D. The harmony it symbolizes.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Who Benefits Most from Fairness?
B. How Has Fairness Changed over Time?
C. What Method Works Best in Cake-cutting?
D. Why are Researchers so Interested in Cake-cutting?
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍各个领域的研究人员对切蛋糕这一问题的本质和方法的研究以及切蛋糕的规则在解决现实问题中的应用。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not only mathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says. (切蛋糕是一个数学问题的核心,它将严格的推理与现实世界的公平问题联系在一起,因此不仅吸引了数学家,也吸引了社会科学家、经济学家等。Procaccia说:“这是一个非常优雅的模型,在这个模型中,你可以distill出什么是公平,并对此进行推理。”)”可知,这里说明人们可以通过切蛋糕问题来提炼理解什么是公平,所以distill的意思应该是“提炼”,和选项A意思一致。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation. (但当考虑到个人偏好时,即使是最简单的规则也会变得复杂。假设爱丽丝和鲍勃要分一块蛋糕,爱丽丝知道鲍勃更喜欢巧克力,她可能会故意把蛋糕分得不相等,这样小的一块含有更多的巧克力。然后鲍勃会根据自己的喜好进行选择,爱丽丝会得到更大的一块。他们都对所得到的感到满意,但公平的意义在这种情况下发生了变化。)”可知,公平这一概念是很复杂的。故选C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms(算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals. (蛋糕是任何可分割商品的象征。当切蛋糕的原则被用来解决分歧时,它们有可能帮助世界找到解决方案。Procaccia使用公平分配算法对食物分配进行建模。社会科学家Haris Aziz正在探索各种情况,从如何分配日常任务到如何最好地安排医生在医院的轮班。)”可知,这一段主要介绍切蛋糕规则的应用。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert. (Ariel Procaccia在过去的15年里思考了很多关于如何切蛋糕的问题。作为三个孩子的父亲,他知道要让每个人都满意地分一个生日蛋糕有多难。但这也是因为Procaccia的工作专注于探索公平划分事物的数学规则。一种方法是抽象地思考甜点。)”和最后一段“Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle(拼图) with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore. (即使经过几十年的调查,切蛋糕也不像一个简单的拼图游戏,有明确的解决方案。相反,随着时间的推移,它已经演变成一种数学沙盒,一个将抽象证明和简单应用程序结合在一起的建设性游乐场。研究人员对它的探索越多,就越有探索的余地。)”可知,这篇文章主要介绍研究者为什么对切蛋糕问题感兴趣。故选D。

Is going alone in an unknown area the right way to go, or do you want a tour guide to show you the highlights? I think that you can combine the two ways in one trip and have the best of both worlds. ____16____ The best purchase we made was for a bus tour that would take us around the capital and point out all the main sites. That allowed us the next day to travel on foot to the ones we especially wanted to see.
Let’s look at the San Francisco Bay Area which is another one of my favorite vacation spots. Some areas are so familiar to tourists that it’s possible to view the attractions on your own. ____17____ Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39 are good examples. Just by walking a few blocks, you can tour Aquarium of the Bay and the Riptide Arcade on Pier 39.
____18____ If you go to Alcatraz Island, you have a choice of going alone, having a live tour guide or being guided by earphones. I would recommend the live tour guides. I went all three ways, and I received more enjoyment by someone telling me items of interest I know I had missed on previous tours. ____19____ It gives you a behind-the-scenes look of colorful Chinatown. The tour covers history, traditions of the local people and culture that you probably wouldn’t know or see by travelling alone.
You can go alone to attractions or take a guided tour. It’s your choice and you can choose whichever would give you the most memorable experience. ____20____
A. I recommend both.
B. It’s possible to drive to the area and go alone.
C. One trip we recently took was to Washington DC.
D. Some attractions are worth having a tour guide for.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章详细介绍了中国家具的悠久历史、制作材料、手工艺、榫卯结构的特点以及与中国古代哲学的关联。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国有近5000年的历史记载。分析句子成分可知,空处为定语修饰空后的名词“history”,动词record和名词history之间是被动关系,应该用过去分词。故填recorded。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意:然而,中国家具的历史甚至比它的文字还要悠久,它可以追溯到7000多年前的河姆渡文化。代词代指上文出现的“the history”,有后置定语,用代词“that”代指。故填that。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:明清时期的家具多为手工制作,以优质硬木为原料,如今这种木材已十分稀少,价格昂贵。介词的用法,意为“作为、以……为”,用介词“as”。故填as。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:一般人常用的木材有松木、榆树、山毛榉等,但这些木材的质量差别很大。这里为本句谓语动词,根据上文时态可知,本句时态为一般现在时;主语为“the quality”,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填differs。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:古典家具大多是手工制作的。现代机器不能完全取代手工。分析句子成分可知,空处为副词形式修饰动词。故填completely。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在中国古代,只使用木材就可以将木块组合在一起,这是所有木匠的基本技能。非谓语动词担当状语,表示主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填using。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它最初是在7000多年前祖先居住的河姆渡遗址的木结构中发现的。这里为定语从句的关系词,先行词为“the Hemudu site”,在定语从句中担当地点状语,用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:它代表了中国工匠的聪明才智和艺术卓越性。分析句子成分可知,空处为名词形式担当宾语。故填creativity。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:此外,中国传统家具深受古代哲学思想的影响。根据句意和空格后的have可知,空处为名词的复数形式担当主语。故填philosophies。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了做到这一点,熟练的木匠正确地匹配了家具的曲线和直线。非谓语动词担当目的状语,用动词不定式形式;出现在句首,首字母大写。故填To achieve。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
We have all heard of the expression: “Remember to stop and smell the roses.” But how often do we really take time out of our fast-paced lives to notice the world around us? Too often we get caught up in our busy schedules, thoughts of next appointment, the traffic or life in general, to even realize there are other people nearby. I am as guilty as anyone of ignoring the world in this manner, especially when driving on California’s overcrowded streets. Every driver on the road seemed to have urgent business to attend to, and when the procession paused, the drivers behind the wheel began to sound horns impatiently. A short time ago, however, I witnessed an event that showed me how being wrapped up in my own little world had kept me from being fully aware of the bigger world picture around me.
I was driving to a business appointment and, as usual, I was planning in my mind what I was going to say. I came to a very busy crossroads where the stoplight had just turned red. While waiting for the traffic lights, I rolled down the window, getting some air in to refresh my mind since I had stayed up late last night for the important appointment today. “Just missed it. Bad luck!” I complained bitterly to myself, reflecting on the time I had wasted on the roadside billboard. “Hold your horses.” The driver on my left tried to calm my anxiety, but it had no effect on me. “All right,” I thought to myself, “I can beat the next light if I race ahead of other drivers.” I waited with such ambition. “Five seconds left, get ready!” My mind and car were in autopilot, ready to go when suddenly my trance (出神) was broken by an unforgettable sight.
A young couple, both blind, were walking arm-in-arm across this busy crossroads with cars whizzing (嗖嗖掠过) by in every direction.

Both of them had a stick extended, searching for clues to guide them.

I think all of us were deeply moved by what we had just witnessed and what we had done.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Both of them had a stick extended, searching for clues to guide them. Heart in mouth, I didn’t know if the other drivers understood what was happening. Then I saw a miracle unfold before my eyes. All cars froze at the crossroads nearly at the same time without shouting angry words nor even sounding a car horn. The couple adjusted their course and made it to the other side having no idea what was going on, yet I immediately sensed a sigh of relief from everyone.
I think all of us were deeply moved by what we had just witnessed and what we had done. As I glanced into the cars around, the driver on my left was mouthing the words “Oh, I can’t believe it!” “Yes, we made it.” I nodded at him for confirmation. As I drove away, I did so with more awareness of life, the fresh air and the smiling face on my left. Since then I have made the decision to take a moment to see what is going on right where I am and I will find something wonderful.
【解析】
